one step away [Interstellar]

59.

This is really not a good thing, at least not for Xia Zuo.

Anxious Emily looked at Xia Zuo who was still in the circle, couldn't help but reached out and tugged at her straps, and asked eagerly, "Charles, are you serious?"

Xia Zuo, who was taking off half of his shoes, hastily put them on again.While arranging his clothes, he turned and opened the door, and ran towards the place where Heber was.Emily, who was following behind her, watched her series of movements and couldn't react.

"Hey! Shire!" She followed behind Xia Zuo, and walked towards the place where Heber was with her.

"Nothing happened! Amy!" In order to disturb other people around, the running alpha kept his footsteps as light as possible.

Nothing happened, no kisses, no hugs, and no sex!

Xia Zuo roared in his heart, thinking about the box of small things in her pocket, he clenched his fists hard.Damn it, what if Heber sees a misunderstanding, she doesn't want to be the kind of alpha in her eyes who comes out all night to hunt for sex and is irresponsible.

Although this is the norm for all single men and women, she just doesn't want to be misunderstood.

Never, never, Hebe spotted the little thing before she could get the coat back.

She ran all the way to the door of Heber's room, and stood in front of the door panting.Looking up at the micro-hole camera, suppressing his beating heart, Xia Zuo raised his hand, straightened his messy temple hair, took a deep breath, and then rang the doorbell.

In front of the door, Emily who hurried over stood behind Xia Zuo, looked at Xia Zuo's immature face, and said inexplicably, "Charles, what did you just say?"

"Amy, nothing happened. That damn little box is still lying in my pocket, and it's in Ms. Heber's hands now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I want to get my coat back." She whispered quickly Emily explained her intentions, and Emily, who looked at her expression, realized it instantly.

It turned out that that lady was not such a simple person as a one-night stand for her.Thinking so, she reached out to touch Xia Zuo's elbow, and asked ambiguously, "Do you like her?"

"..." Xia Zuo, who had no intention of responding to her at all, turned his head to glance at his friend, raised his hand, and continued to ring the doorbell.

The slight ringing of the bell came to his ears, and Heber, who had already changed his shoes, was holding Xia Zuo's coat, standing in front of the cleaning robot, looking at the small box lying in his palm, his eyes dimmed.

this thing……

Heber looked at this little thing and pursed the corners of his lips.What appeared in my mind was the girl's immature face like a boy's, and I couldn't react for a while.

Hearing the bell ringing outside the door again, Heber bit his lips in a daze.Putting the small things in his hands on the sink, he threw Xia Zuo's coat to the cleaning robot, turned around, and walked out the door.

In the distance, Heber recognized the two people standing outside the door through the projection of the micro-hole camera connected to the wall.She pinched her fingers and looked at the immature figure outside the door with some hesitation.

After a long while, the third bell rang, and Heber pinched his fingers and mustered up his courage before reaching out to open the door.

"What's the matter?" The closed door opened a little, revealing half of Heber's delicate face.

Emily, who was gossiping Xia Zuo, dilated her pupils slightly when she saw Heber's face.Even with that, even the words stopped.

"I...I want to get my coat..." Xia Zuo looked flustered, but tried his best to calm himself down, "Hebe, I think it's better for me to handle it myself."

"Can you let me in?" She asked Heber for advice, her eyes full of eagerness.Heber hesitated for a while, looked at her, then at Emily at the side, and exerted a little force on the hand holding the doorknob.

"Okay...but I think..."

"That's right...that's really great..." Before Heber finished speaking, Xia Zuo, who for the first time in her life abandoned her alpha demeanor, hurriedly opened the door. She didn't even change her shoes. Into the space belonging to Heber.

Seeing her flustered back, Heber suddenly relaxed.So he opened his mouth and instructed very intimately, "In the bathroom..."

Obviously, there is nothing rational about a young man who falls headlong into love.The hurried Xia Zuo ran to the bathroom after hearing the instructions.He just pushed open the door, and when he saw the conspicuous small red box on the sink, he stopped in his tracks.

What I want to take...is it really this?

He Bo, who was following behind her, saw Xia Zuo's motionless figure, and suddenly reacted.She took a few steps forward, looked at Xia Zuo looking at the small box, and explained softly, "I've already processed the coat, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow after it's dried. Hmm... this is something I took out of your pocket, right?" ? Do you want to take it back now?"

She raised her hand, pointed to the conspicuous small box on the sink, and reminded her very intimately.So, at a speed visible to the naked eye, through the mirror in front of her, she saw the face of the young man standing in front of her, and it flushed quickly.

Spreading from the neck to the cheeks, all the way to the earlobe, it was red like dripping blood.

Embarrassed Xia Zuo nodded, angrily took the small box on the sink, turned around abruptly, and walked out without looking back.

"Goodbye, Hebe!" She said so, saving the box of small things in shame, and strode towards the door.Emily, who was following them, watched the interaction between these two people, and restrained her surprised expression.After greeting Heber politely, she hurriedly followed the pace of her friend just like when she came.

"That's... the lady from the Fox family?" Oh my god, Miss Wisteria, is that Hebe Fox?Emily, who felt like she had discovered some shocking secret, followed Xia Zuo and asked anxiously.

"Yes." Xia Zuo nodded and replied honestly.

"Is she your brother's wife?" Emily asked, chattering and showing her gossip side as a media person.

"..." Amy, can you keep your voice down?Heber is going to hear it, okay?

In fact, Heber, who stood at the door and watched them leave, did not hear this sentence.At this moment, she looked at Xia Zuo's leaving back, thinking of her blushing face just now, and smiled uncontrollably.

Ah, no matter what, he is really a cute person.

Thinking so, she locked the door and turned back to the bathroom.

Shocked Emily followed Xia Zuo back to their room, saw Xia Zuo who had calmed down changing his shoes, casually threw the small box on the coffee table, loosened his tie, and finally couldn't help but say "She's your brother's wife! Lynn's wife"

"It's his ex-wife..." Xia Zuo, who was nagged by his friends, loosened his tie and took off his braces. After correcting her statement, he solemnly emphasized, "They've been divorced for three years."

"But she and your brother were indeed married, weren't they?" Emily sat on her bed, looked at Xia Zuo who was taking off her clothes, and asked, "Charles...you...you like her? No...you...love her."

She fixedly looked at Xia Zuo with searching eyes.

Xia Zuo, who was unbuttoning his shirt, paused with his fingertips, looked at Emily sitting on the bed, his eyes darkened, "Is there any problem?"

"But she's your brother's ex-wife."

Xia Zuo looked back, landed on the empty bed in front of him, and said to himself, "They're already divorced."

Emily looked at Xia Zuo and said with an incomprehensible expression, "But they were together before. Charles, she is yours...yours..."

"My sister-in-law? Huh..." She chuckled, as if snorting, but also as if she was particularly helpless.

After a while, she hugged her bathrobe and walked into the bathroom.The sound of pattering water buried all thoughts.Emily sat cross-legged on her bed alone, listening to the sound of water in her ears, and remained silent.

Damn it, no wonder Ellen said that Xia Zuo would be happy here, and her attitude was so ambiguous.It turned out to be such a thing!

Emily, who felt that she had heard a big secret, looked in the direction of the bathroom with a confused face.

As for Xia Zuo, who was standing in the bathroom, looking at his palm, his handsome face gradually lost its color.

She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, and when she came out wrapped in a bathrobe after drying her hair, Emily still maintained her previous posture, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

As if aware that she had come out, the woman with bright red hair raised her eyes, looked at Xia Zuo with a pair of bright eyes, and asked very gossip, "So have you slept together?"

"At San Lorenzo." As if afraid that Xia Zuo might misunderstand her, Emily emphasized the latter location.Basically, did you have sex before your brother and her divorced?

Xia Zuo's face sank, he stretched out his hand without hesitation, pulled the pillow, and threw it at Emily.

"Please be careful, Amy!" Is this insulting Heber or insulting her.

"Hey, Charles, don't be angry, you have to know how exciting this is for most people." Emily argued, seeing Xia Zuo's face getting more and more gloomy, she quickly raised her hands, "Okay, I was wrong... I was wrong..."

"But it's really exciting." She said again, bulging.

"You..." Xia Zuo pulled the quilt beside him, couldn't help stretching out his hand, and was about to smash it again.

"Okay, okay, I won't say, I won't say, don't do it." Emily flattered, smiled obsequiously, and then said very charmingly with a devil-like voice, "But Charles ...Even if you are divorced, she is still your former sister-in-law."

"So... pursue her? Huh?"

She suggested so, showing an expression of fearing that the world would not be chaotic.
